Regional Capability Community Fund - Round 4 (2025-2026)

The Regional Capability Community Fund (RCCF) is now open.

The fund has been established to improve community safety and capability to respond to fire emergencies. The RCCF will reimburse between $300 to $5,000 (GST inclusive) to farmers and farming businesses to purchase equipment to support the safe use of Farm Fire Units (FFU).

Additionally, in Round 4 the fund will reimburse approved water tank purchases or a portion of a purchase up to $10,000 (including GST). This will allow for the purchase of a minimum 22,000L tank, fire service fittings, and other items such as stands and pipe fittings dedicated to firefighting to support preparedness and resilience in areas where water access for firefighting is currently difficult, and there is a need for more water.

Eligible applicants:

• Individual farmers
• Farming businesses or rural landholders
• Rural community groups (Note: Applications from rural community groups will only be eligible for reimbursement of shared use fire rated personal protective clothing and/or community firefighting tanks).

Applications close 5pm (ACST) on Friday, 8 August 2025.
